As I learn and make major changes to a previous WP site, I thought it might be best to install a second version and make the changes to that so nothing breaks. I intend to really move things around and custom ize a theme. Is this the best way to go about it? I feel if I try to make and changes they will show online as it is now.
Can I install a second version of a WP site (4 posts)

Posted 1 year ago #Your best option would be to install mamp if you are on mac or wamp if you are on a windows based machine locally. Then install wordpress. This will essentially turn your local machine into a development machine. Once you are done with the theme edits, upload them to your production site.
